Steps
In a bowl or blender, combine the silken tofu, cold water, chicken bouillon powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix or blend until the mixture becomes a smooth, creamy soup base.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, and garlic paste to create the spicy seasoning sauce.
Heat the frozen udon noodles according to the package instructions (usually boiling or microwaving). Once heated, immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water or rinse under cold running water to chill. Drain thoroughly to remove excess water.
Pour the prepared tofu soup base into a serving bowl and add the chilled udon noodles.
Top the noodles with the spicy seasoning sauce, black pepper, sliced cucumber, kimchi, roasted sesame seeds, and the halved boiled egg. Serve immediately while cold.
